Donald Trump was grinning from ear to ear over this jaw dropping poll result

News organizations and university survey research outfits are putting out their final poll results.

The numbers are showing a trend.

And Donald Trump was grinning from ear to ear over this jaw-dropping poll result.

Wall Street Journal poll shows Trump up on Kamala Harris

The final two week stretch of the 2024 Presidential Election kicked off with a shocker.

And that came when the Wall Street Journal’s new poll shows Trump leading Kamala Harris 49 to 46 percent.

This poll reset the narrative as the political world settled on the idea that Kamala Harris would win the popular vote, and the two campaigns would fight trench warfare in the seven battleground states to see who would snatch an Electoral College majority.

The Journal poll reset that expectation.

According to the Journal’s findings, Donald Trump is simply more popular than Kamala Harris.

The more Americans see of Kamala Harris, the less they like her.

“Views of Harris have turned more negative since August, when equal shares of voters viewed her favorably and unfavorably. Now, the unfavorable views are dominant by 8 percentage points, 53% to 45%. Moreover, voters give Harris her worst job rating as vice president in the three times the Journal has asked about it since July, with 42% approving and 54% disapproving of her performance,” the Journal wrote of their poll results.

That’s because Kamala Harris can’t answer questions about why she let the border and inflation spiral out of control or how she would do anything differently than Joe Biden.

“Voters are finally getting to know her,” said the Republican pollster David Lee, who conducted the Journal poll along with a Democrat polling firm. “The definitional period is coming to an end, and more people are unhappy with what they have learned about her than what they know about President Trump.”

Poll shows strong support for Trump

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden’s failures the last four years made Americans appreciate the global stability, secure border and low inflation of Trump’s term in office.

“By contrast, views of Trump have turned rosier. Voters recall his time as president more positively than at any point in this election cycle, with 52% approving and 48% disapproving of his performance in office—a 4-point positive job rating that contrasts with the 12-point negative rating for Harris,” the Journal’s report continued.

There was also a 14-point gap between Trump and Kamala Harris in terms of whose economic plan voters approve of.

“Moreover, voters give Trump a solid edge in most cases when asked about the candidates’ agendas and policies. By 10 points, more voters have a favorable than unfavorable view of Trump’s economic plan for the country, while unfavorable views of Harris’s economic plan outweigh positive views by 4 points,” the Journal’s report added.

Kamala Harris proposed $5 trillion in tax increases and a job-killing Green New Deal.

Trump wants a return to the economic boom he oversaw before the COVID pandemic hit.

Like in most races, voters tend to break late.

The Wall Street Journal poll shows voters breaking towards Trump on the issue of the economy.
